While the blue flames in the eye sockets of the skull at the junction of the blade and handle had transformed to black.
When she attempted to swing it, a black trail manifested in the air, showcasing the size capabilities even without enchantment.
As Bayou examined her weapon, Guaming slowly descended to the ground.
His prolonged meditative posture had rendered his body rigid, and any slight movement elicited a cacophony of cracking bones.
As Guam Ming gradually stood, he finally broke free from the seal that had bound him for years.
Yet, he displayed little elation.
Instead, he gazed at Bayu's side with awe.
He could discern that this was not solely attributable to the system.
Rather, the true strength lay within her weapon.
The system merely served as a supportive force.
Had it been any other lord or weapon, they would not have achieved such an outcome.
At that moment, Bayou was engrossed in reviewing the information regarding the scythe.
Her expression radiating joy.
Companion weapon.
Scythe of judgment quality.
Imperial grade weapon upgradeable.
Weapon spirit.
Essence of fear.
Active skill one through the spiritual realm enabling direct annihilation of an enemy's soul irrespective of distance.
Active skill two absorbs the target's fear, summoning a fearsome entity.
The scarecrow strength not exceeding the current level of the weapon.
Passive skill one.
Attacks are imbued with soul damage and withering effects.
The slain will be transformed into undead.
Passive skill two.
The weapon can be enchanted with magic without the need for incantations or the formation of magic circles.
Passive skill three.
The area of effect and damage of the bell soul strike are significantly increased.
Passive skill four.
The weapon possesses the capability to sever all based on the current level or lower.
With the addition of two active skills, Bayou immediately activated skill one to commence her experiment.
In an instant, she perceived all living beings in her sight transforming into a blinding white haze.
Each accompanied by a spectral white shadow.
Everything around her became frozen in time.
Fixating on a tree, she stood still and swung her scythe.
The white shadow behind the tree vanished instantly, followed by a surge of residual black energy converging into her scythe.
This was the fear value from skill 2, which could be utilized to summon such unique entities.
Not only did the target need to experience fear directly slaying them also yielded fear value.
In essence, the more fear value by you amassed, the more formidable the summoned entities would be, akin to the principle of sacrifice.
The maximum strength of the summoned beings would not surpass the royal level, yet it could reach level 9 royal.
Meanwhile, Guiming observed as Bayu stood motionless, swinging her sighthe at a pine tree, which withered and decayed instantaneously, as if a gentle breath would reduce it to ashes.
Its soul was obliterated, manifesting an ability akin to directly invading the mental realm, much like the source of fear.
At this moment, Guam Ming was somewhat astonished.
Rather than becoming a burden, the source of fear had augmented her strength.
Bayou subsequently deactivated her skill, rendering the surrounding souls invisible once more.
This ability allowed her to launch unexpected assaults on her foes.
It seems the source of fear will not become your incumbrance.
May I have another look at your weapon? Guam Ming expressed a keen interest in the changes that had occurred with her weapon to which Bayou willingly handed it over for inspection.
As he received the weapon, he simultaneously produced a tome of spatial magic.
Bayou without hesitation accepted it and promptly began studying it before absorbing it into her right eye.
Upon witnessing the scene, Guing merely smiled, refraining from further comment.
Reflecting on his own arduous endeavors with the spell book, he couldn't help but exclaim, "How fortunate it is to have a system to assist.
" "Eh, are you not also a lord? Why do you lack a system?" Bayou inquired, standing beside Guam.
Her stature slightly shorter, allowing her to observe his face partially concealed beneath his unruly gray hair.
His features were fair, yet bore the marks of time with deep, penetrating eyes that belied his age, rendering him far from resembling an old man.
Furthermore, from her earlier observations, Guaming appeared capable of viewing the system panel.
The system had only existed for a century.
Once the 100red-year limit was reached, it would become ineffective.
At that point, even the barracks could not be summoned, leaving the units to reproduce on their own, let alone other functionalities.
Even building a simple toilet would necessitate a painstaking effort of brick and tile.
Thus, it can be said that a century hence, we shall be scarcely distinguishable from the natives, having fully assimilated into this land.
Bayou was momentarily takenback at a loss for words, realizing that the system was indeed ephemeral.
However, Guing seemed to be unburdening himself, chattering incessantly while observing by Usai.
Perhaps this was the elation of being liberated from centuries of confinement.
Do you know how many lords ultimately survived from the initial multitude? As he spoke, Guam Ming extended five fingers, mimicking a gun gesture towards Bayou.
800.
Bayou interjected, perplexed, questioning the astonishing mortality rate of the lords.
Where only 800 remain from billions.
800.
Guing scoffed.
It is merely eight.
Chapter 368.
The history of the enchanted continent.
What? Bayou was utterly astonished, scarcely able to believe that only eight individuals had survived.
This was inconceivable.
The Lord had transported 3 billion people.
And aside from the elderly and children, nearly everyone had been brought over.
Everything was perfectly fine before my arrival, wasn't it? This was the crux of the matter.
After all this time, by you had failed to consider such a crucial piece of information.
How could 3 billion people be transported without leading to the extinction of humanity? Perhaps you and I do not originate from the same world, Guam Ming suggested, seemingly having formed a hypothesis long ago.
Parallel universes, Bayou exclaimed, "If time travel is possible, why not parallel universes?" Guming<unk>s assertion left Bayou without a counter-argument.
It indeed seemed the only plausible explanation.
Such matters were not what Bayou ought to concern herself with.
She should focus on the intelligence regarding the previous batch of lords, or whether there had been a preceding batch at all.
Was there a lord before you? Bayou fixed her gaze on Guaming, eagerly awaiting his response.
Yes, as expected, even we do not know our exact place in succession.
When we encountered the previous batch of lords, we were as astonished as you are now.
Upon meeting the former lords and learning there had been yet another batch before them, we formulated a bold hypothesis.
The enchanted continent originally harbored no native races.
All the races developed from the troops of a certain lord.
Guaming casually returned a weapon to Bayou once again uttering words that left her in shock.
This weapon is formidable and will become a significant asset for you in the future.
Yet at that moment, Bayou was too engulfed in astonishment to heed Guaming<unk>s words.
How many years has the history of the enchanted continent spanned? Em uncertain.
But at least I know it has been tens of thousands of years.
A new batch of lords arrives every thousand years.
As for the duration of the enchanted continent's existence, Guing himself was unaware.
tens of thousands of years.
This implies that at least dozens of batches of lords must have descended.
According to Guaming's estimations, the initial enchanted continent was merely a desolate wasteland devoid of indigenous races.
